The changes in land surface temperature (LST) concerning time and space are mapped with the help of satellite remote sensing techniques. These measurements are used for determining several geophysical parameters including soil moisture, evapotranspiration, thermal inertia, and vegetation water stress. This study aims at calculating and analyzing the LST of manmade and natural features of Doon Valley, Uttarakhand, India. The study area includes the forest range of Doon Valley, agricultural areas, and urban settlements. Spaceborne multitemporal thermal bands of Landsat 8 were used to calculate the LST of various features of the study area. Split-window algorithm and emissivity-based algorithms were tested on the Landsat-8 data for LST calculation. The study also explored the effect of atmospheric correction on the temperature calculation. The land surface temperature determined using an emissivity based method that did not provide atmospheric correction was found to be less accurate as compared to the results by the split-window method. The LST for urban settlements is higher than the forest cover. A temporal analysis of the data shows an increase in the temperature for October 2018. The study shows the potential of the spaceborne thermal sensors for the multitemporal analysis of the LST measurement of manmade and natural features.

Land Surface Temperature (LST) quantification is needed in various applications like temporal analysis, identification of global warming, land use or land cover, water management, soil moisture estimation and natural disasters. The objective of this study is estimation as well as validation of temperature data at 14 Automatic Weather Stations (AWS) in Chittoor District of Andhra Pradesh with LST extracted by using remote sensing as well as Geographic Information System (GIS). Satellite data considered for estimation purpose is LANDSAT 8. Sensor data used for assessment of LST are OLI (Operational Land Imager) and TIR (Thermal Infrared). Thermal band  contains spectral bands of 10 and 11 were considered for evaluating LST independently by using algorithm called Mono Window Algorithm (MWA). Land Surface Emissivity (LSE) is the vital parameter for calculating LST. The LSE estimation requires NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index) which is computed by using Band 4 (visible Red band) and band 5 (Near-Infra Red band) spectral radiance bands. Thermal band images having wavelength 11.2 µm and 12.5 µm of 30th May, 2015 and 21st October, 2015 were processed for the analysis of LST. Later on validation of estimated LST through in-suite temperature data obtained from 14 AWS stations in Chittoor district was carried out. The end results showed that, the LST retrieved by using proposed method achieved 5 per cent greater correlation coefficient (r) compared to LST retrieved by using existing method which is based on band 10.

Abstract This investigation was conducted for the estimation of the temporal land surface temperature value using thermal remote sensing of Landsat-8 (OLI) Data in Hawassa City Administration, Ethiopia. Satellite datasets of Landsat-7 (ETM+) for 22nd March 2002 and Landsat-8 (OLI) of 22nd March 2019 were taken for this study. Different algorisms were used to estimate the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index threshold from the Red and Near-Infrared band and the ground earth's surface emissivity esteem is legitimately recovered from the thermal infrared by coordinating with the outcome got from MODIS information. The land use land cover map of the city was prepared with better accuracy using the on-screen classification technique. The spatial distribution of surface temperature of the city range from 6.62°C to 22.54°C with a mean of 14.58°C and a standard deviation of 11.25 in the year of march 22nd 2002. The LST result derived from Landsat 8 for March 22nd, 2019, ranges from 11.97°C to 35.5°C with a mean of 23.735 °C and a standard deviation of 16.64. In both years the higher LST values correspond to built-up/settlement and bare/open lands of the city; whereas, lower LST values were observed in vegetation (trees/woodlot, shrubs, and grass forested) area. Urban expansion (built-up area roads, and another impervious surface), decline in vegetation levels due to deforestation and increasing population density. Increasing an evergreen tree and green space coverage, design and develop city parks and rehabilitate the existing degraded natural environments are among the recommended strategy to reduce the rate of LST.

Dehradun city is the capital of Uttarakhand state of India. Evidence from the past research and literature [e.g. CDP 2007, Singh et al 2013, Gupta et al 2014] shows that in the late 80s, Dehradun city was much greener compared to the present condition. In the current study, we tried to identify the correlation between land surface temperature (LST) with Forest cover density classes (FCDC) and built-up area with open land. The current study reveals that there is a relationship between FCDC and LST in the study area. The range of LST recorded is between 32.07 to 43.99 °C. Among all the classes, minimum LST record in VDF class is 32.07°C and maximum LST record in built-up area 43.99°C. The present study shows the importance of vegetation cover in urban areas to reduce LST, air temperature and maintain the urban microclimate as well as to help reduce air pollution.

Land surface temperature (LST) is a key parameter of surface physical process and plays an important significance to the energy balance in the world. In this paper, based on the knowledge of atmospheric radiative transfer and the comparability of two satellites, 7 undetermined variables was solved. Then, eliminate the atmospheric effects on the remote sensing images by atmospheric correction model. The retrieval of atmospheric elements and the surface parameters, will also be presented. It’s a effective way to measure the LST. Following the disposal information and plentiful data increasing, the powerful computing resource was required. The computing capability in single computer fall short of demand. So the grid computing conception is introduced. We build a LST measurement system by grid service, it can solve the problem commendably.

Abstract In recent years, with the intensification of problems like the depletion of traditional fossil fuels and environmental degradation, the development of new energy sources has become a key long-term strategy in China. Geothermal energy has attracted much attention due to its advantages of abundance and low environmental impact. Based on infrared data sensed remotely by the Landsat 8 satellite, this paper reports a verification of the atmospheric-correction method for extracting the surface temperature of the Dandong-Liaoyang geothermal region in all months of 2014. The method combines the abnormal points in the inversion results with the local sites of hot springs, structures, local historical air temperatures, and land surface temperature/emissivity data (MOD11_L2). Results showed that these data sources were spatially distributed in similar ways, which indicates that these results can be used to identify promising geothermal resources from publically available thermal-infrared remote-sensing data.

This work gives a first insight into the potential of the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model to provide high-resolution vertical profiles for land surface temperature (LST) retrieval from thermal infrared (TIR) remote sensing. WRF numerical simulations were conducted to downscale NCEP Climate Forecast System Version 2 (CFSv2) reanalysis profiles, using two nested grids with horizontal resolutions of 12 km (G12) and 3 km (G03). We investigated the utility of these profiles for the atmospheric correction of TIR data and LST estimation, using the moderate resolution atmospheric transmission (MODTRAN) model and the Landsat 8 TIRS10 band. The accuracy evaluation was performed using 27 clear-sky cases over a radiosonde station in Southern Brazil. We included in the comparative analysis NASA’s Atmospheric Correction Parameter Calculator (ACPC) web-tool and profiles obtained directly from the NCEP CFSv2 reanalysis. The atmospheric parameters from ACPC, followed by those from CFSv2, were in better agreement with parameters calculated using in situ radiosondes. When applied into the radiative transfer equation (RTE) to retrieve LST, the best results (RMSE) were, in descending order: CFSv2 (0.55 K), ACPC (0.56 K), WRF G12 (0.79 K), and WRF G03 (0.82 K). Our findings suggest that there is no special need to increase the horizontal resolution of reanalysis profiles aiming at RTE-based LST retrieval. However, the WRF results were still satisfactory and promising, encouraging further assessments. We endorse the use of the well-known ACPC and recommend the NCEP CFSv2 profiles for TIR atmospheric correction and LST single-channel retrieval.

Remote sensing technology plays an increasingly important role in land surface temperature (LST) research. However, various remote sensing data have spatial–temporal scales contradictions. In order to address this problem in LST research, the current study downscaled LST based on three different models (multiple linear regression (MLR), thermal sharpen (TsHARP) and random forest (RF)) from 1 km to 100 m to analyze surface urban heat island (SUHI) in daytime (10:30 a.m.) and nighttime (10:30 p.m.) of four seasons, based on Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS)/LST products and Landsat 8 Operational Land Imager (OLI). This research used an area (25 × 25 km) of Hangzhou with high spatial heterogeneity as the study area. R2 and RMSE were introduced to evaluate the conversion accuracy. Finally, we compared with similarly retrieved LST to verify the feasibility of the method. The results indicated the following. (1) The RF model was the most suitable to downscale MODIS/LST. The MLR model and the TsHARP model were not applicable for downscaling studies in highly heterogeneous regions. (2) From the time dimension, the prediction precision in summer and winter was clearly higher than that in spring and autumn, and that at night was generally higher than during the day. (3) The SUHI range at night was smaller than that during the day, and was mainly concentrated in the urban center. The SUHI of the research region was strongest in autumn and weakest in winter. (4) The validation results of the error distribution histogram indicated that the MODIS/LST downscaling method based on the RF model is feasible in highly heterogeneous regions.

Abstract Bur Ni Geureudong is one of geothermal areas that potentially to be developed for geothermal power plant in Aceh Province, Indonesia. Prior to the development, detail investigation based on geological, geophysical and geochemical methods are needed for estimating its potential. However, this site is located in a mountainous area with dense forests that are difficult to reach and research of geothermal exploration in site is still very poor considering its promising potential. So that the use of remote sensing method is very suitable to be done to investigate geothermal potential in these remote areas. For reconnaissance survey, Land Surface Temperature (LST) mapping using Landsat 8 OLI/TIRS (Operational Land Imager/Thermal Infrared Sensor) image data was conducted to investigate the geothermal potential in the area. Radiometric correction, Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) mapping and emissivity calculations were performed to obtain the LST map. Results show temperatures in the area ranged 17⁰C to 40⁰C, the area with high surface temperatures are caused by geothermal activities. NDVI map also shows an agreement with the high surface temperature region and they are mostly indicated by occurrence of vegetation stress.
